. When using default settings, this commit should change
nothing. The first PE continues to be placed at 1 MiB
resulting in a metadata area size of 1020 KiB (for
4K page sizes; slightly smaller for larger page sizes.)
. When default_data_alignment is disabled in lvm.conf,
align pe_start at 1 MiB, based on a default metadata area
size that adapts to the page size. Previously, disabling
this option would result in mda_size that was too small
for common use, and produced a 64 KiB aligned pe_start.
. Customized pe_start and mda_size values continue to be
set as before in lvm.conf and command line.
. Remove the configure option for setting default_data_alignment
at build time.
. Improve alignment related option descriptions.
. Add section about alignment to pvcreate man page.
Previously, DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was 255 sectors.
However, the fact that the config setting named
"default_data_alignment" has a default value of 1 (MiB)
meant that DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE was having no effect.
The metadata area size is the space between the start of
the metadata area (page size offset from the start of the
device) and the first PE (1 MiB by default due to
default_data_alignment 1.) The result is a 1020 KiB metadata
area on machines with 4KiB page size (1024 KiB - 4 KiB),
and smaller on machines with larger page size.
If default_data_alignment was set to 0 (disabled), then
DEFAULT_PVMETADATASIZE 255 would take effect, and produce a
metadata area that was 188 KiB and pe_start of 192 KiB.
This was too small for common use.
This is fixed by making the default metadata area size a
computed value that matches the value produced by
default_data_alignment.
io_setup() for aio may fail if a system has reached the
aio request limit. In this case, fall back to using
sync io. Also, lvm use of aio can be disabled entirely
with config setting global/use_aio=0.
The system limit for aio requests can be seen from
/proc/sys/fs/aio-max-nr
The current usage of aio requests can be seen from
/proc/sys/fs/aio-nr
The system limit for aio requests can be increased by
setting fs.aio-max-nr using sysctl.
Also add last-byte limit to the sync io code.
devices/scan_lvs (default 1) determines whether lvm
will scan LVs for layered PVs. The lvm behavior has
always been to scan LVs, but it's rare for LVs to have
layered PVs, and much more common for there to be many
LVs that substantially slow down scanning with no benefit.
This is implemented in the usable filter, and has the
same effect as listing all LVs in the global_filter.
The copy of VG metadata stored in lvmcache was not being used
in general. It pretended to be a generic VG metadata cache,
but was not being used except for clvmd activation. There
it was used to avoid reading from disk while devices were
suspended, i.e. in resume.
This removes the code that attempted to make this look
like a generic metadata cache, and replaces with with
something narrowly targetted to what it's actually used for.
This is a way of passing the VG from suspend to resume in
clvmd. Since in the case of clvmd one caller can't simply
pass the same VG to both suspend and resume, suspend needs
to stash the VG somewhere that resume can grab it from.
(resume doesn't want to read it from disk since devices
are suspended.) The lvmcache vginfo struct is used as a
convenient place to stash the VG to pass it from suspend
to resume, even though it isn't related to the lvmcache
or vginfo. These suspended_vg* vginfo fields should
not be used or touched anywhere else, they are only to
be used for passing the VG data from suspend to resume
in clvmd. The VG data being passed between suspend and
resume is never modified, and will only exist in the
brief period between suspend and resume in clvmd.
suspend has both old (current) and new (precommitted)
copies of the VG metadata. It stashes both of these in
the vginfo prior to suspending devices. When vg_commit
is successful, it sets a flag in vginfo as before,
signaling the transition from old to new metadata.
resume grabs the VG stashed by suspend. If the vg_commit
happened, it grabs the new VG, and if the vg_commit didn't
happen it grabs the old VG. The VG is then used to resume
LVs.
This isolates clvmd-specific code and usage from the
normal lvm vg_read code, making the code simpler and
the behavior easier to verify.
Sequence of operations:
- lv_suspend() has both vg_old and vg_new
and stashes a copy of each onto the vginfo:
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_old);
lvmcache_save_suspended_vg(vg_new);
- vg_commit() happens, which causes all clvmd
instances to call lvmcache_commit_metadata(vg).
A flag is set in the vginfo indicating the
transition from the old to new VG:
vginfo->suspended_vg_committed = 1;
- lv_resume() needs either vg_old or vg_new
to use in resuming LVs. It doesn't want to
read the VG from disk since devices are
suspended, so it gets the VG stashed by
lv_suspend:
vg = lvmcache_get_suspended_vg(vgid);
If the vg_commit did not happen, suspended_vg_committed
will not be set, and in this case, lvmcache_get_suspended_vg()
will return the old VG instead of the new VG, and it will
resume LVs based on the old metadata.
Add new profilable configation setting to let user select
which metadata format of a created cache pool he wish to use.
By default the 'best' available format is autodetected at runtime,
but user may enforce format 1 or 2 ATM.
Code also detects availability for metadata2 supporting cache target.
In case of troubles user may easily Disable usage of this feature
by placing 'metadata2' into global/cache_disabled_features list.
Because of contraints in renaming shifted rimage/rmeta LV names
the current RaidLV limit is a maximum of 10 SubLV pairs.
With the previous introduction of reshaping infratructure that
constriant got removed.
Kernel supports 253 since dm-raid target 1.9.0, older kernels 64.
Raise the maximum number of RaidLV rimage/rmeta pairs to 64.
If we want to raise past 64, we have to introdce a check for
the kernel supporting it in lvcreate/lvconvert.

In order to support striped raid5/6/10 LV reshaping (change
of LV type, stripesize or number of legs), this patch
introduces the changes to call the reshaping infratructure
from lv_raid_convert().
Changes:
- add reshaping calls from lv_raid_convert()
- add command definitons for reshaping to tools/command-lines.in
- fix raid_rimage_extents()
- add 2 new test scripts lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_striped.sh
and lvconvert-raid-reshape-striped_to_linear.sh to test
the linear <-> striped multi-step conversions
- add lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh reshaping tests
- enhance lvconvert-raid-takeover.sh with new raid10 tests

When showing sizes with 'H|human' units we do use standard rounding.
This however is confusing users from time to time,
when the printed number uses some biger units i.e. GiB and there is just
tiny fraction of space missing.
So here is some real-life example with new 'r' unit.
$lvs
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 1.99g
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- <2.00g
lvol2 vg -wi-a----- <2.01g
Meaning is - lvol1 has 'slightly' less then 2.00g - from sign '<' user
can be aware the LV doesn't have full 2.00GiB in size so he
will be less surpriced allocation of 2G volume will not succeed.
$ vgs
VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree
vg 2 2 0 wz--n- <6,00g <2,01g
For uses needing 'old' undecorated human unit simply will continue
to use 'H|h' units.
The new R|r may further change when we would recongnize some
other way how to improve readability.
Introduce 'hard limit' for max number of cache chunks.
When cache target operates with too many chunks (>10e6).
When user is aware of related possible troubles he
may increase the limit in lvm.conf.
Also verbosely inform user about possible solution.
Code works for both lvcreate and lvconvert.
Lvconvert fully supports change of chunk_size when caching LV
(and validates for compatible settings).
Enforce mirror/raid0/1/10/4/5/6 type specific maximum images when
creating LVs or converting them from mirror <-> raid1.
Document those maxima in the lvcreate/lvconvert man pages.

Commit 3928c96a37 introduced
new defaults for raid number of stripes, which may cause
backwards compatibility issues with customer scripts.
Adding configurable option 'raid_stripe_all_devices' defaulting
to '0' (i.e. off = new behaviour) to select the old behaviour
of using all PVs in the VG or those provided on the command line.
In case any scripts rely on the old behaviour, just set
'raid_strip_all_devices = 1'.

lvm fullreport executes 5 subreports (vg, pv, lv, pvseg, seg) per each VG
(and so taking one VG lock each time) within one command which makes it
easier to produce full report about LVM entities.
Since all 5 subreports for a VG are done under a VG lock, the output is
more consistent mainly in cases where LVM entities may be changed in
parallel.
New report/output_format configuration sets the output format used
for all LVM commands globally. Currently, there are 2 formats
recognized:
- basic (the classical basic output with columns and rows, used by default)
- json (output is in json format)
This is a preparation for new CMDLOG report type which is going to be
used for reporting LVM command log.
The new report type introduces several new fields (log_seq_num, log_type,
log_context, log_object_type, log_object_group, log_object_id, object_name,
log_message, log_errno, log_ret_code) as well as new configuration settings
to set this report type (report/command_log_sort and report/command_log_cols
lvm.conf settings).
This patch also introduces internal report_cmdlog helper function
which is a wrapper over dm_report_object to report command log via
CMDLOG report type and which is going to be used throughout the code
to report the log items.
Wait to compare and choose alternate duplicate devices until
after all devices are scanned. During scanning, the first
duplicate dev is kept in lvmcache, and others are kept in a
new list (_found_duplicate_devs).
After all devices are scanned, compare all the duplicates
available for a given PVID and decide which is best.
If the dev used in lvmcache is changed, drop the old dev
from lvmcache entirely and rescan the replacement dev.
Previously the VG metadata from the old dev was kept in
lvmcache and only the dev was replaced.
A new config setting devices/allow_changes_with_duplicate_pvs
can be set to 0 which disallows modifying a VG or activating
LVs in it when the VG contains PVs with duplicate devices.
Set to 1 is the old behavior which allowed the VG to be
changed.
The logic for which of two devs is preferred has changed.
The primary goal is to choose a device that is currently
in use if the other isn't, e.g. by an active LV.
. prefer dev with fs mounted if the other doesn't, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't
If neither device is preferred by these rules, then don't
change devices in lvmcache, leaving the one that was found
first.
The previous logic for preferring a device was:
. prefer dev in subsystem if the other isn't, else
. prefer dev without holders if the other has holders, else
. prefer dev that is dm if the other isn't
Move checking the lvmetad state, and the possible rescan,
out of lvmetad_send() to the start of the command.
Previously, the token mismatch and rescan would occur
within lvmetad_send() for some other request. Now,
the token mismatch is detected earlier, so the
rescan can be done before the main command is in
progress. Rescanning deep within the processing of
another command will disturb the lvmcache state of
that other command.
A rescan already exists at the start of the command
for the case where foreign VGs are going to be read.
This same rescan is now also performed when there is
an lvmetad token mismatch (from a changed global_filter).
The commands pvscan/vgscan/lvscan/vgimport are excluded
from this preemptive checking/rescanning for lvmetad
because they want to do rescanning themselves explicitly.
If rescanning devices fails, then lvmetad has not been
correctly repopulated and should not be used, so make
the command revert to not using lvmetad.
When a command modifies a PV or VG, or changes the
activation state of an LV, it will send a dbus
notification when the command is finished. This
can be enabled/disabled with a config setting.
The metadata/record_lvs_history is global switch which enables or
disables recording historical LVs in metadata.
If both metadata/record_lvs_history=1 lvm.conf option and
--nohistory command switch is used at the same time, the
--nohistory prevails.
The new report/compact_output_cols setting has exactly the same effect
as report/compact_output setting. The difference is that with the new
setting it's possible to define which cols should be compacted exactly
in contrast to all cols in case of report/compact_output.
In case both compact_output and compact_output_cols is enabled/set,
the compact_output prevails.
For example:
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols=""
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=0
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
---
$ lvmconfig --type full report/compact_output report/compact_output_cols
compact_output=1
compact_output_cols="data_percent,metadata_percent,pool_lv,move_pv,origin"
$ lvs vg
LV VG Attr LSize
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m
Add new profilable configurables:
allocation/cache_policy
allocation/cache_settings
and mark allocation/cache_pool_chunk_size as profilable as well.
Obsolete allocation/cache_pool_cachemode and
introduce new allocation/cache_mode instead.
Rename DEFAULT_CACHE_POOL_POLICY to DEFAULT_CACHE_POLICY.
Require global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options to be always defined.
If not defined directly by user in the configuration and if there's no
concrete default option to use, make "" (empty string) the default one -
it's then clearly visible in the "lvmconfig --type default" (and
generated lvm.conf) and also it makes its handling in the code more
straightforward so we don't need to handle undefined values.
This means, if there are no default values for these settings defined,
we end up with this generated now:
{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options = [ "" ]
So the value is never undefined and if it is, it's an error.
(The cache_repair_options is actually not used in the code at the moment,
but once the code using this setting is in, it will follow the same logic
as used for thin_repair_options.)
Just like we have DEFAULT_USE_LVMETAD (or DEFUALT_USE_LVMPOLLD), use
fallback_to_lvm1=1 lvm.conf setting if we configured lvm2 with
--enable-lvm1-fallback and use fallback_to_lvm1=0 otherwise.
Also, generate proper lvm.conf.in with unconfigured value.
Make it possible to define format for time that is displayed.
The way the format is defined is equal to the way that is used
for strftime function, although not all formatting options as
used in strftime are available for LVM2 - the set is restricted
(e.g. we do not allow newline to be printed). The lvm.conf
comments contain the whole list that LVM2 accepts for time format
together with brief description (copied from strftime man page).
For example:
(defaults used - the format is the same as used before this patch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-25 16:18:34 +0200
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m 2015-06-29 09:17:11 +0200
(using 'time_format = "@%s"' in lvm.conf - number of seconds
since the Epoch)
$ lvs -o+time vg/lvol0 vg/lvol1
LV VG Attr LSize Time
lvol0 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435241914
lvol1 vg -wi-a----- 4.00m @1435562231
Do not use "#S" (blank string) as default value as that ends up with
'key = [ "" ]' to be generated which is not what we want in most cases.
Also, fix default values for global/{thin,cache}_{check,repair}_options
and avoid assigning blank values. For example, the thin_check_options
had this set as default value previously:
"#S" DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION1 "#S" DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION2
If any (or both) of DEFAULT_THIN_CHECK_OPTION* variables was set
to "", we ended up with clumsy default value generated like:
thin_check_options = [ "-q", "" ]
With this patch, we end up with correct:
thin_check_options = [ "-q" ]
or, if all options are undefined:
thin_check_options = [ ]
Which is the correct way to express this.
